<p>You’ve probably noticed we’re fans of some <a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/retro/">retro</a> tech stuff around here, whether it’s <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/02/14/flip-clock-screensaver/">flip clock screensavers</a>, <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/01/27/the-ultimate-retro-terminal-cathode/">retro Cathode terminals</a>, or the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/01/29/retro-80s-iphone-case/">ridiculous 80’s block iPhone case</a>, there’s just something fun about bringing back the old to interact with the new.</p>

<p>Apparently popular iOS Developer Neven Morgan of <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=uO47tEUahH8&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fthe-incident%252Fid385533456%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30" target="itunes_store">The Incident</a> fame agrees. So enthralled with the world of 8-bit, he has decided to make a hack that renders Safari in 8-bit. </p>

<p>Dubbed Pixelfari (<a href="http://cl.ly/2O2B2r220t2i293Y2Y2B">you can download it for free</a>), the app turns the web into a hyper-pixelated beast right out of a <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/02/12/nes-emulator-for-mac/">Nintendor emulator</a>.

<p>PixelSafari is amusingly useless, quite buggy, but entertaining nonetheless. Hat tip to Macstories for <a href="http://www.macstories.net/news/pixelfari-its-safari-in-8-bit-and-its-totally-awesome/">digging up</a> this one.</p>
